About this guide
About this guide
This User Guide provides information about the Nortel Mobile Voice
Client (MVC) 2050.
The Nortel Mobile Voice Client (MVC) 2050 is designed to add wireless
voice communication to the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).
7
Mobile Voice Client 2050 overview
Mobile Voice Client 2050
overview
Designed to work with your personal digital assistant (PDA) and IP-based
telephone systems, the Mobile Voice Client (MVC) 2050 provides realtime voice service over the Internet.
The MVC 2050 supports several features, including the following:
•
six programmable line/feature keys
•
four soft keys (self-labeled)
•
12-button dialpad
•
multifield display
•
end user-selectable skins
To make a call from your PDA using the MVC 2050, you can dial with
your dialpad, use a macro, or copy and paste a number from another
application. You also can use one of the methods on your PDA System
Input Panel.
If you are using Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ 2003 Second Edition or
Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ 5.0 for Pocket PC as your operating
system, the MVC 2050 can also coexist with a secure Virtual Private
Network (VPN) client for connection to a business network.
8
Mobile Voice Client 2050 overview
Software dependencies
The following are the MVC 2050 primary software dependencies:
•
Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC
•
Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC
•
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition for Pocket PC
Note: Windows Mobile 2003 SE AKU1 is not supported (Version
4.21.1088 (Build 14132)). AKU1 has a bug which makes it impossible
for third parties to use Settings applets. This is resolved with WM2003
SE AKU2 (Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14260.2.0.5)).
•
GIPS NetEQ (included with the MVC 2050 software)
•
VPN client (for secure access to a network)
For secure (VPN) access to a network, a VPN client is required.
Communication servers
The following Business Communications Manager (BCM) servers support
the MVC 2050:
•
BCM 200 Release 3.6 (with patch) or above
•
BCM 400 Release 3.6 (with patch) or above
Supported PDAs
The PDA industry evolves at a rapid pace. Refer to Nortel's web site
(www.nortel.com/mvc2050) to determine the latest PDA models tested
and any known issues.
Alternatively, follow the links on www.nortel.com to > Products > Phones,
Clients, and Accessories > IP Phones and Clients > Mobile Voice Client
2050 > Technical Specifications.

9
Mobile Voice Client 2050 overview
PDA processor models, speed, and amount of memory vary. To maintain
audio quality, do not overload the processor with intensive tasks while
using the MVC 2050. For example, Nortel does not recommend using
your PDA Internet browser while using the MVC 2050.
MVC 2050 requires that PDAs meet the following minimum technical
specifications:
•
screen resolution of 240x320
•
CPU speed of 624 MHz
•
64 MB RAM
PDA vendors offer two types of rechargeable battery: standard and
extended-life. The extended-life battery is recommended to provide
longer call duration and increased call volume.
Headsets
A headset is required in order to send and receive telephone calls using
the MVC 2050 and your PDA. The headset is an important part of audio
quality.
PDAs that support stereo headphones with microphones are
recommended.
The Dell specific headset with a button on the wire, when used with the
X51v, allows the MVC 2050 to answer an incoming call or release an
active call by pressing the button.
Note: Bluetooth and 802.11b operate on the same frequency band
and use the same WLAN hardware on the PDA. Therefore, the use of
Bluetooth accessories with MVC 2050 can lead to poor call quality.
Contact your PDA vendor to obtain headset recommendations.
For more information about Automatic Gain Control, see “MVC 2050
configuration” on page 17.

Maintaining call quality
If you are experiencing poor quality during a call on the MVC 2050, move
closer to the WLAN access point. Distance from the access point reduces
the throughput/data rate.
Using MVC 2050 on a PDA in a closed area or indoors also reduces the
throughput, compared to open space.
Bluetooth and 802.11b operate on the same frequency band and use the
same WLAN hardware on the PDA. Therefore, the use of Bluetooth
accessories with MVC 2050 can lead to poor call quality.

Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050
Dialing formats
Numbers must be in the canonical dialing format in order for your PDA to
use them for dialing.
The canonical address format is a universal telephone number format
recognized by the WIndows Telephony Application Interface (TAPI).
The canonical format identifies the components of a telephone number,
which TAPI translates according to a country’s or region’s dialing rules.
The canonical format is:
+ Country/Region Code (Area Code) Subscriber number
Note: For further information on canonical dialing, refer to the
Microsoft web site.
When you select File > Contacts and double-tap a number to dial from
the contacts list, the Phone details dialog box appears, shown in
Figure 19 on page 44. The dialog box provides options for the criteria to
properly route your call.
Use the Phone details dialog box to:
•
modify the number being dialed
•
select or deselect canonical dialing rules
•
interpret the number as a private network (ESN) number
43
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050
Figure 19: Phone details dialog box
553-AAA1529a
The following are the components for creating and using canonical dialing
numbers:
•
area code, in the Contacts application
•
dialing properties, called Dialing Locations (see Figure 20 on
page 45)
Note: Information in the Dialing Locations tab indicates the origin of
the call.
44
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050
Figure 20: Dialing locations
45
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050
Set the patterns for local, long-distance, and international dialing using
Dialing Patterns. See Figure 21.
Figure 21: Dialing patterns
553-AAA1534
Area code
Set the Area code to provide the default area code for dialed numbers.
To establish the default Area code:
1. Select the PDA Contacts > Tools > Options.
2. Assign the correct value to the Country/Region and Area code.
See Figure 20 on page 45.
46
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050
The Contacts application prefixes the default area code to numbers you
enter in your Contacts application. The PDA attempts to interpret the
numbers as canonical.
For example: enter a seven-digit number. Contacts assumes that the
number is in your area code, and the software adds the area code as a
prefix to the seven-digit number to create a canonical number.
In North America, if you enter a default area code of “415” in your
Contacts and then enter the number “555-1212”, the following occurs:
•
Contacts prefixes the area code to the number
•
the displayed number changes to “(415) 555-1212”
This number is interpreted as a canonical number that the PDA can use
for dialing.
Dialing Locations
Dialing Locations describe the dialing rules to be applied when you dial a
number. The dialing rules allow you to enter prefixes to access local and
long-distance numbers. Use the location of your server. See Figure 20 on
page 45.
To establish the dialing rules:
•
Select Start > Settings > Connections > Dialing Locations.
•
Enter your server’s Area Code.
•
Enter your server’s Country Code.
•
Specify Tone dialing.
•
Select Dialing Patterns.
•
Enter or modify the dialing patterns for local calls, long-distance calls,
and international calls.
47
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050
Example
An end user has a DN on a server located in Atlanta and another DN on a
server located in New York. The end user has set up two dialing
locations: one named “Atlanta”’, with an area code of 404, and another
named “New York”, with an area code of 646. The end user also has
entered ‘646’ as the default area code in the Contacts application.
The end user also has programmed Dialing Patterns as follows:
•
for local calls, dial: 9,G
•
for long-distance calls, dial: 6,1FG
•
for international calls, dial: 6,011,EFG
Note: According to the Dialing Patterns dialog, E means insert
country code, F means insert area code, and G means insert the
number. Insertion of “,” (a comma) indicates a one half-second
pause.
— With the location of New York selected, the end user enters
information for a contact whose business number is 555-1212.
The Contacts application uses the Contacts Area code to
determine the area code default (646).
— With the location of New York selected, the end user enters
information for a contact whose business number is 416-5551212. The end user enters all ten digits to record the number in
Contacts as (416) 555-1212.
— With the location of New York selected, when the end user
selects 555-1212 in the MVC 2050 Contacts list, and selects Dial
Business, the Phone details dialog box appears and displays the
number to be dialed as 9,5551212.
— With the location of New York selected, when the end user
selects 416-555-1212 in the MVC 2050 Contacts list, and selects
Dial Business, the Phone details dialog box appears and displays
the number to be dialed as 6,4165551212.
— With the location of Atlanta selected, when the end user selects
555-1212 in the MVC 2050 Contacts list, and selects Dial
Business, the Phone details dialog box appears and displays the
number to be dialed as 9,16465551212.
48
Managing Contacts with Mobile Voice Client 2050
See your PDA Help system for a description of the values used in dialing
patterns.
ESN numbers
To enter ESN numbers in Contacts, enter the ESN prefix followed by the
number.
Note: PDA Contacts does not accept the ‘~’ character to express
ESN numbers. You can provide a ‘~’ character to your PDA Contacts
application by storing a ‘~’ character prefix digit in your PC Outlook
Contacts. Then use ActiveSync to synchronize your PDA with your
PC Outlook. This transfers the ‘~’ to your PDA.
To assign the ESN prefix:
1. Dial a number using the Contacts list.
2. When the Phone details dialog box appears, select ESN, and enter
or modify the ESN prefix in the box.
See Figure 22 on page 50.

Diagnostics include:
•
Ping
•
TraceRoute
•
RUDP Ping
Ping tests whether the network destination in online.
TraceRoute is an operation for sending trace packets to trace the route of
user datagram protocol (UDP) from local host to remote host.
RUDP Ping tests if the IP port is responding as a terminal proxy server
(TPS).

Mobile Voice Client 2050 for expert users
Audio quality
Audio quality of voice transmission depends on many factors, such as
codec characteristics, echo canceller, jitter buffer size, and listener
perception.
Audio quality is controlled from two screens:
•
Audio, the quality slider tab
•
Advanced Audio (for expert users)
Audio quality slider
You can control audio quality by using the slider tab to reduce audio delay
and increase audio clarity. See Figure 32. The slider controls the number
of audio buffers the PDA uses to smooth out incoming audio streams.
Audio delay
If you experience audio delay, you can decrease the number of buffers,
and reduce the delay, by adjusting the slider on the Audio screen.
Figure 32: Audio quality screen
66
Mobile Voice Client 2050 for expert users
Audio clarity
If you experience breakups in the receive audio stream, adjust the setting
towards Higher Quality. This increases the number of audio buffers used
to process incoming audio. If the delay is too large, you can decrease this
setting.
If you experience broken or choppy speech at either end of the call, or if
the dial tone sounds choppy, avoid using your PDA volume control.
Instead, use the volume controls on the MVC 2050 toolbar to adjust the
volume of your call.
Note: QoS 802.11 p/q is not supported due to device constraints.
Advanced Audio
Advanced audio settings are recommended for use only by advanced
users. See Figure 33.
Figure 33: Advanced Audio screen
NetEQ software, included with the MVC 2050 software, provides loss
concealment and compensation; NetEQ is the default setting. You cannot

Jitter Buffer
The rate of arrival of voice frames is
variable. A jitter buffer is used to
minimize this variability by sending voice
frames to your PDA sound system at a
fixed rate. The value of “jitter” is the
number of voice frames the application
has in its jitter buffer.
Highwater Mark
Highwater mark indicates the maximum
number of voice frames the application
can have in its jitter buffer, before it starts
discarding packets. Set this value to at
least 2.5 times the value of jitter.
Early Packet and Late
Packet Resync
Early Packet Resync and Late Packet
Resync indicate the points at which
MVC 2050 discards and restarts the jitter

Hardware ID
The Hardware ID screen is for expert users and system administrators. It
can be used to select the Media Access Control (MAC) address that the
MVC 2050 reports to the communication server.
The Hardware ID being used by MVC 2050 can be viewed on the
MVC 2050 Settings > Hardware ID tab. See Figure 35.
Figure 35: Hardware ID screen
AAA1207.bmp
The Hardware ID is generated by reading MAC addresses from the PDA
NIC. When the MVC 2050 is used with most server types, the Hardware
ID it uses must be unique. Some software, such as VPN client software,
creates artificial network interfaces with MAC addresses that are common
70
Mobile Voice Client 2050 for expert users
to all installations of the software. As a result, the MAC address is the
same on many different computers.
Without a unique MAC address, users sometimes are unable to connect
to a server, or will connect to a server, and subsequently cause another
device with the same Hardware ID to be disconnected from the server. If
the MVC 2050 is disconnected from the server, it automatically attempts
to reconnect, and the resulting conflicts will prevent a stable connection
from being made.
Select the Auto-Create button on the Settings > Hardware ID screen to
prevent conflict with another device. Auto-Create fabricates a random
value, which is unlikely to be repeated by another device.
Table 8 describes items on the Hardware ID screen.

Description
Hardware ID
This box contains the MAC address for the Ethernet
hardware installed in your device. MVC 2050 uses the
MAC address of the Ethernet hardware as its
Hardware ID. You can change this value if there is
more than one MAC address, or if the device is using
an Extranet client that hides the true MAC address.
For example, the Nortel Contivity Extranet Switch
uses a single MAC address for all clients. This can
cause connection problems with your communication
server.
Auto-Create
This changes the MAC address that appears in the
Hardware ID box. If your device has more than one
MAC address, press the Auto-Create button to cycle
through the set of MAC addresses on your computer.
Auto-Create also makes up random Hardware IDs, in
case the Ethernet hardware addresses are not unique
to the communication server.
Firmware
Version
Shows the build number of MVC 2050 installed on
your device. This value is the version number of the
application last reported by the server.

Connection history
Connection history writes indication messages to the registry key
“\HKCU\Software\Nortel Networks\MVC2050\Log” for connection or
disconnection events. This is a circular queue of 29 entries.
Each time a connection or disconnection event occurs, a log entry is
written. The entries contain a date and time, and a description of the
connection or disconnection event.
The following section describes connection and disconnection events.
Soft reset, server n
This message indicates that the server has instructed the MVC 2050 to
reset and connect to a server n, where the value of n is determined, and
possibly written, by the server. This maps directly to a UNIStim message.
Server connected
This message indicates that the MVC 2050 has connected successfully to
the server. It means that the MVC 2050 received the “AssignTerminalID”
UNIStim message, which is the last message received by the MVC 2050
before a normal session commences.
Recovering: Server unreachable
This message is generated when the MVC 2050 has lost its connection
with the server. It indicates that the UNIStim “watchdog timer” has
expired. This indicates loss of network connection.
Hard Reset
This message indicates that the server has instructed the MVC 2050 to
reset and clear its UNIStim-related memory. This maps directly to a
UNIStim message.

WiFi
You can ActiveSync your PDA with your PC using WiFi.
WiFi use for a cradled PDA
If you do not want to lose the MVC 2050 connection to the server when
you return the PDA to its cradle, deactivate ActiveSync. Otherwise, the
connection is lost, because ActiveSync uses Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP). This causes the PDA connection to the network to be dropped,
and then connected to the PC.
